Exhibition tour
Winslow Homer: Crosscurrents
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
on view April 11 – July 31, 2022

In this video, we visit a new exhibition dedicated to famous American landscape painter and printmaker Winslow Homer. The show reconsiders Homer's work through the lens of conflict, a theme that crosses his prolific career. A persistent fascination with struggle permeates his art—from emblematic images of the Civil War and Reconstruction that examine the effects of the conflict on the landscape, soldiers, and formerly enslaved people to dramatic scenes of rescue and hunting as well as monumental seascapes and dazzling tropical works painted throughout the Atlantic world. The exhibition's centerpiece is Homer's iconic The Gulf Stream, a painting that reveals his lifelong engagement with charged subjects of race, geopolitics, and the environment. Featuring 88 oils and watercolors, Crosscurrents represents the largest critical overview of Homer's art and life in more than a quarter of a century.
